AFAIK, you need to get an SDK from the company that makes your camera.

You need to talk to the company that makes your camera. There really isn't
a standard yet for talking to these devices.

Maybe this is possible by using WIA:

You could use a third party library to handle twain devices. In my VB.NET
app, I got a copy of TwainPro. It works well.

WIA is definitely a winner (it's what I use) but there are some
limitations - you need to have Win2K/XP and you have to have a camera
that has a WIA driver. Most of the newer web cams should be OK, but
older cameras require TWAIN usage.

Hi, We have a C#.NET win-forms application that talks to a device plugged into the USB port. Sometimes when severe communications interruptions occur, such as from a burst of ESD electricity, we need to toggle the power on that device in order to bring it back to life. We can do this by unplugging the usb cable from the PC, obviously, but our program needs to recover without manual intervention.

Environment: VB6 under W98 I have a USB hardware device I wish to program directly. The original software installed a low level driver and the hardware is both registered and operational.

In other words, I'd like to enumerate all devices on the USB bus, pick the one I want, and then communicate with it (send commands, get data, etc).
